Help:how to turn off front park assist

I don't use the TFT menus to activate the front sensors - I press the overhead button on the windshield where the rear view mirror is mounted.

Anyway, your problems looks like a software issue. Maybe the software was not correctly installed when the car was set up. As with all software issues, when it doesn't respond or respond correctly you have to reboot.

I'd call the dealer and bring it in. They may have to re-install the software.

 

Hi,

that is no problem,
you can access the menu only with the ignition on and the engine not running. You can change the behavior of the parking sensors then.

I agree with both gentlemen. I think configuring functionality via the TFT and dash buttons is disabled while the car is in motion, for safety reasons. You can disable the parking sensor beeping using the overhead button.

 

FWIW - I noticed this problem with my 2010 California and reported it to the dealer and to Ferrari (I had the business card from the California product manager from an event in Santa Monica) back in September 2009. To date, there hasn't been an update or fix. Just use the overhead buttons, as others have noted.

 

Increasingly, auto makers are letting you go less (i.e. no) configuration changes unless the car is stopped. Our GMC Yukon family hauler won't let you put a Nav destination in unless it's stopped.

Cali, FF and 458 systems for this are the same; in our case, I keep "Stop-and-Go" set to off and avoid the problem with the sensors. FWIW, our BMW has F/R parking sensors and it, too, has a button to deactivate. Pretty typical.

 

Yes, this is an issue that still isn't resolved. Very annoying for the sensors to keep beeping even when the car is in P! and you can't change the display until you manually disable the parking sensors.

 

Hmm, I tried to allude to this in my original post. My car actually seems to have the front parking assist OFF BY DEFAULT.

It's off unless I press the overhead button. I'll check it again later today but I'm pretty certain about this because my original annoyance with it is that it does not come on unless I press the button, which is the way front parking assist systems should work to avoid them coming on when you drive in stop-and-go traffic, depending on sensitivity settings of the systems. My truck's system also works that way.

I find the Cali's front parking assist pretty iffy. It doesn't provide enough safety margin - perhaps it's not set up to be sensitive enough. When it beeps I have to immediately stop because I am already right up to the object. Luckily the car seems to have just the right clearance for the curbs I have encountered so far as I have found myself over them by a good 6 to 8 inches by the time I stopped.

 

Just got back from my drive… love this car to bits.

Yes, my car's front parking assist definitely only comes on when I press the overhead button. So there must be a setup control whereby you can use to have it off by default.

 

Yes you can disable this in the setup menu as noted earlier in this thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/142369299-post3.html

 

You are not helping SAVE THE EARTH? All of the green plants on the earth need some extra CO2 anyway, leave stupid stop & go off

i had this same problem of not being able to get to the TFT screens with the engine running and the park assist alarm going off. By disabling park assist via the rear view mirror controls was then able to deactivate park assist via the TFT.

 

Hi Guys

So happy to have found this - I just spend two days trying to turn the same thing off in a 458 Spider!!!!
I activated the STOP&GO (although I actually wanted to adjust something else) just to see whether it could be useful - found no way to get into the SETUP menu again to disable the setting after the car started beeping crazily in the garage without driving >10mph and then no menu item is available. (SW bug - had I broken something...?)
Studied user's manual and tried pressing/resetting with any button that I could find (stationary and at speed).

But, simple once one knows to turn it off in the roof instead - but I many have given up before finding it, if not for this thread!!!!

>>You are not helping SAVE THE EARTH? All of the green plants on the earth need some extra CO2 anyway, leave stupid stop & go of

Is this confiusing the STOP&GO with START/STOP?

Regards

Problem is due to excessive paint on the front parking sensor...!
Please remove from center circle of your sensor the excess paint and it will work perfect!

 

Thanks his works perfectly. That was very helpful. I wish only people that actually have Ferrari post. It people that give useless opnion with no clue. Again thank you he park and go was so annoying.

 

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I had this problem and i was about to disconnect my battery to reset things, then I read this. I fixed my problem. I will sleep better tonite!

 

This was extremely helpful as I was beginning to think there was some type of electrical error with my 458. Thank you!

 

I just asked this question in the 488 section.
Seems like my sensors are defaulted to being "off" when I turn the car on.
I would prefer that they be "on" so I don't forget to turn it on.
Is there a way to change the default setting to "on" ?

 

Thanks I have been trying for weeks to sort this out
